Vintage Anti-Masturbation Devices

Does anyone own anything like this or use chastity or anti-masturbation devices? If you haven't, would you ever?

I think they are super cool from a historical standpoint, but I'm not interested in other ways.

"Male anti-masturbation device, British, 1871-1930.

This metal device is one of a number of similar devices which were invented in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries to prevent masturbation. A leather strap which would have kept it in place is now missing. Until the early 1900s, many people regarded masturbation as harmful to a person's health, and it was blamed for a variety of ailments, including insanity."

I never have. They used to sell chastity belts at the renaissance fair that I went to with my parents, my dad always told me he was going to buy me one lol. Although that wasn't for masturbation prevention, but rather sex prevention.

Same here, my dad joked about it, too. Scary thing is, if he had his way, i really do think he'd buy one. >.>

I've seen belts before that had a hole still for the vag, but lined around the hole were tiny metal spikes. So if anything tried to get into the woman it would be shredded.

A bit more research - chastity belts were used more for 'prevention of sacrilage to the dead' than for their intended purpose. Apparently, there was a hella lot of necrophilia going on in the middle ages.

I've seen modern Chastity Devices for men on EBay! Plastic which covers the entire penis, (I think the thing to restrain the balls are separate) and these things are expensive.

One of the things the Victorians used to use to "prevent" masturbation, in both girls and boys were "arm splints" which kept the arms straight out, and were put on the child at night.

YUCK. What an awful thing.

As for female chastity belts, I know a lot of Victorian woman would wear a red string or ribbon around her waist, to "remind" her to be chaste, but I don't know how much good it would do, once you got through all those Victorian layers, to the string or ribbon!

I'd love to see the website where they have these....you know, for the historical interest.....
